Pump and compressor technology

Centrifugal pumps and compressors are defined by the Hydraulic Institute as “a kinetic machine converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy through centrifugal activity.” Sundyne Pumps also utilize state-of-the-art inducers for low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) situations.

Sundyne centrifugal pumps and compressors are traditionally utilized for processes requiring high-head (pumps: 6,300 ft or 1,921 m)(compressors: 4000 psia or 350 bara), and low-flow (pumps: 1,100 gpm or 250 m³/hr)(compressors: 10000 acfm or 1700 0am³/hr). They are engineered and built to meet the Best Efficiency Point 'BEP' for production processes. Pumps and compressors meet the BEP by engineering specific combinations of speed through integrally geared or direct drives, and custom engineered diffusers and impellers.

Sundyne Sunflo pumps utilize high speed technology to generate high pressure typically for boiler feed, reverse osmosis, NOx suppression, washdown (food and beverage production), injection, seal flush, and condensate return.

Sundyne also has the widest range of sealless magnet drive pumps in the world. HMD Pumps (A Sundyne subsidiary) invented the magnetic drive pump in 1947. The Sundyne sealless magnetic drive pumps are leak-free and ideal for difficult, high value and hazardous fluid processing where containment, reliability and safety are imperative. Sundyne Ansimag sealless magnetic drive pumps are non-metallic and fit ANSI standards. Sundyne HMD/Kontro sealless magnetic drive pumps are metallic with models in ISO, API-610 and API-685 standards.

Sundyne manufactures multistage pumps with a single gear box (HMP Line), horizontal BB series (Marelli), and V series vertical pumps (Marelli). These pumps are utilized for high pressure services in refining, chemical production, fluid storage, and water services.

Sundyne Marelli pumps also include a line of water pumps that are ideal for irrigation, supply, purification, desalination, and general utilities. Sundyne Marelli also produces fire pump systems that meet the industry standards for installation in buildings in Spain and Portugal.

Pump and compressor types and standards manufactured by Sundyne

Sundyne engineered pump and compressor models are compliant with the International Organization for Standardization ISO 13709, and American Petroleum Institute API-610, API-617, API-614, API-685, and ASME/ANSI standards.
